The key word here is "ATLEAST", I myself originally installed a 480hp 383 stroker small block into my 79 300CD. It has since been pulled, and installed into an S-10 Blazer, and a more potent 600hp GM LS engine has been installed into the Mercedes. Just that u can buy a complete long block crate small block with 325hp, all day long for $1500.00. I was attempting to keep his budget in mind, because he said he wanted to keep it simple. Anymore than 325hp, and he's now replacing the rear dif, with a Dana 60 out of a Jag, for another $1000-$1500, like I had to. I was just trying to prevent him the hassle of a rear end job too.
